Best skier right now?

his 18/19 edit drove it home for me

i obv knew he slayed big mtn but i either didn't know or had forgotten he still slays rails/jumps. that segment had 5swap to pretzel, switch dubs, and FWT lines. just insane

Not to mention he actually has style too! Not just some comp-ski robot. Actually looks nice on skis and also seems like a pretty intelligent/with it dude on social media.

He really can do absolutely everything. Lots of guys are really good at everything, and amazing at something at different points in their skiing lives, but not many guys are at the top of the game in multiple disciplines at the same time. Another example of this would be Richard Permin in 2012 in his Superheroes of Stoke segment. Murray Wais (I think) mentions at the beginning of that seggie that Richard Permin had skied at the highest level of both park and big mountain in the same season, and that he had not thought that possible before.

Here is Richard Permin in Superheroes of Stoke. If it has already been posted I apologize. The song is insane too.

Here is some Markus Eder for everyone. This is him in the 2018 Verbier Extreme. If he just skis this line without the tricks it is an insane lane, absolutely nuts. The fact that he mixes tricks in is just mind-blowing.
